The selection cover for the April 2018 is a hard one as the Porsche 550 Spyder and the Short Nose Ferrari 275 GTB Speciale. I selected the Ferrari 275 GTB Short Nose as the history and the car ownership must be very interesting. The story the Porsche must be interesting as well. The Short Nose Ferrari 275 GTB is not as graceful as the Long Nose 275 GTB. The other cover of the Tesla is not interesting. I can’t see the justification of someone spending the money on any electric car. It will be interesting to see what the long term costs are and at what point would the values decline because no one in their right mind is going to pay the very high price for the batteries. It seems this fad will disappear. The values will go down as well.

Now and then we see a comment about a 15-25 year old RR or Bentley being such a fun way to get down the road for $15K or so. Could we please have more coverage of 5-15 year old Bentleys- they are selling at the same auctions.

Tesla will not survive in spite of it’s success at “rent seeking”/government subsidies (all three of the “genius’ businesses burn cash and rely on government subsidies. At some point the capital markets may choose to stop funding the negative cash flow or charge more and that would be the end. And if there is fraudulent accounting by the “genius” he might be the first one on one of his rocket trips to Mars. Elon Mars?
I’ll take a photo of a marque with proven history and heritage anytime. A Camry photo would be preferable to a Tesla.
